Kate is an odd duck literally. When the full moon arrives, the rest of her family turns into wolves, but she is a happy wereduck. Relatively happy, that is.
Her family has been uprooted from their cozy backwoods cabin to a placid farming community thanks to a fellow werewolf, Marcus, selling them out to sleazy tabloid journalist Dirk Bragg.
When Kate discovers her great-great-grandmother's recipe 'A Cure for Werewolf,' she can't help but wonder is it really possible Could she one day resist the call of the moon Could she be free from the constant threat of exposure
When Marcus's werewolf son, John, books a desperate train journey at the full moon, the ancient recipe and its arcane ingredients are put to the test. Will Dirk Bragg finally corner Kate and John in their were-forms and expose them to the world, or will Cure for Werewolf keep them safe
Cure for Wereduck is slapstick comedy with many silly antics some young readers will enjoy.
